Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Genesis Game (Retro Fam)

This is the one that set the bar for all the Indiana Jones movies. "Temple of Doom" didn't quite meet the standard in my book, but "Last Crusade" was right up to snuff. Then there was "Crystal Skull." The less said, the better. "Raiders" is, as I've implied, one of the great ones. Good acting, a great cast, fantastic action sequences, some nice spine tinglers, an all-in-all great movie. In the one scene were the Ark is opened, I can just hear Maude saying, "God will get you for that!" God did, too! As I said, this one set the bar for all the others. Watch it and you'll know why!

This one, of the trilogy is by far the best of all of them. Though I've enjoyed all of the Indy movies. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this one but enjoy it just as much every time.

This production and its storyline and characters was new and fresh, so it came without any pre-conceptions. That, along with the great characterizations, snappy dialogue, and overall storytelling/production made this exciting to watch, even if for the "umpteenth" time. Harrison Ford really "played" the part and the personna. When viewed in perspective with the sequels that followed, some of them also were great, but the first episode definitely is the best.

I can't of a better way of spending a snowy winter's day than re-watching a classic. Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my 5 all-time favorite films and watching it for the umpteenth time doesn't diminish that feeling. Great action and fantastic performances throughout.

Great movie
